Meet The Staff
Sarai Escarment, M.S., LMHC, QS
Executive Director
At some point in life, we all need support, guidance, and a space to reconnect with ourselves. It is truly my passion and privilege to help individuals step into healing, clarity, and personal growth.
With over 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, individuals, and families, I have supported those navigating behavioral challenges, learning disabilities, depression, anxiety, stress, ADHD, addiction, grief, relationship and family conflict, spirituality concerns, trauma, and life transitions. I have also had the privilege of speaking throughout the community on mental health and emotional wellness.
My mission is to help people align the mind, body, and spirit so they can experience greater peace, purpose, and freedom within themselves. Above all, I want every person I work with to know this: you matter, your story matters, and healing is possible!
Damaris Torres, M.A., LMHC, QS
Clinical Director
I understand it can be difficult to connect, open and trust someone with your feelings, thoughts, and fears. My goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible by being open, compassionate, and educational while offering unbiased ear. I have over 10 years experience working with children, adolescents and young adults struggling with adjustment issues, anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, relationship/family conflict and spirituality. I also have a history of working with children with special needs. I have clinical experience working in outpatient and inpatient settings. This is your season and I’m here to guide you through it!

I specialize in faith-based Cognitive Behavioral therapy in working with areas such as depression, anxiety and Women's issues. I am currently working on my certification in Perinatal Mental Health. It has become a passion of mine to engage in the healing journey of women, both pregnant and not pregnant, in order to help them manage and embrace their mental health and overall wellness.
Nikki Cramer, M.A., LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
It can be exhausting to keep pushing through and appearing like you have it together while privately feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating. You may be navigating depression, ADHD, anger, trauma, attachment wounds, low self-esteem, life transitions, or relationship conflict.
I offer adolescents ages 13 and older, adults, and couples a warm, nonjudgmental space where we can look beneath the surface together and make sense of the thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences shaping your reactions and patterns. My attachment-based approach, informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, combines deeper understanding with practical tools to help you build healthier patterns, stronger relationships, and greater clarity, confidence, and connection.
